Capture Ideas Before They Disappear
Macuse now integrates with Apple Stickies. Capture thoughts instantly, color-code by priority, and keep ideas visible on your screen. No app switching required.
You're in the middle of something. A thought pops up. You don't want to lose it, but you also don't want to break your flow.
Opening Notes feels heavy. Creating a reminder feels like overkill. You just need to jot something down. Fast.
That's what Stickies are for. And now your AI can use them too.
Say It, Stick It
Tell your AI assistant what you want to remember. A sticky appears on your screen.
- "Quick sticky: Call the client back after 3pm"
- "Create a pink sticky: Urgent. Review the contract before signing"
- "Make a sticky with my grocery list: milk, eggs, bread"
No opening apps. No navigating menus. Just speak and capture.
Colors That Mean Something
Stickies come in six colors. Use them however you want. Here's one approach:
| Color | Use For |
|---|---|
| Yellow | General notes |
| Pink | Urgent items |
| Blue | Research and learning |
| Green | Done or positive |
| Purple | Creative ideas |
| Gray | Low priority |
Ask your AI: "Create a pink sticky for the deadline reminder." The color shows up instantly. Now you can spot urgent items at a glance.
Brainstorm with AI
Stickies become powerful when you combine them with AI thinking.
"Help me brainstorm 5 ideas for the product launch. Create a yellow sticky for each one."
Suddenly you have five ideas on your screen. You can see them all. Move them around. Group them. The AI generates, you organize.
Need to go deeper? "Create blue stickies expanding on idea number 3." Now you have a visual thinking canvas that grows with your ideas.
Always Visible
Unlike notes hidden in an app, stickies float on your desktop. Your ideas stay visible while you work.
Waiting for a call? The reminder is right there. Working on a project? Your brainstorm stickies surround you. You don't have to remember to check them. They're already in front of you.
Try These Prompts
Start with something simple:
- "Show all my stickies"
- "Create a sticky: Remember to submit the report"
- "Find stickies about the project"
- "Make a purple sticky for my new feature idea"
Then explore color coding and batch creation as you go.
